Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Glover weighed in on the director switch, likening his situation to that of a kid caught in the middle of a divorce. "I feel like I was the baby in the divorce, or the youngest child," he said. "The oldest child is like, 'We know what's happening, but we are keeping you out of it.' And I'm just like, 'Was that scene good? How did you feel?'"

Glover only had positive things to say about Howard, calling him "such a legend" and saying that "he knows exactly what the vision for what he is doing is." Still, it hasn't been the easiest situation for the actor, with Glover noting that it was Lord and Miller who chose him for the role. "[Phil and Chris] hired us, so you sort of feel like, 'I know I'm not your first choice …' And you worry about that," he explained.

The actor said he doesn't know the full extent of what happened with the director switch, describing his role and the lack of control he has as being a "color in someone else's palette."
